Hi my Readers! This is a continuation of the ball. So....Enjoy! P.S The song on the side is the music the Percy and Aaron dance to, plus King Luis X and Lily! It is the music they last dance to and you will be alerted with an >. On the side, is Sarah's picture.

"The dancing, the music,........ You're the Phoenix." I nod, knowing that there's no way out of this one. "Now I can understand. I can cancel that departure, unless....You still want to go home?" Virgil rubs his chin in thought.

I shake my head. "No, I'm not going home. I've decided, this is my path, my destiny, my fate." He nods and then walks down the hallway without another word. "Please! Don't tell Jack and Vlad!" I call out to him. Virgil slightly turns back, nods and then smiles. I smile back, waving him goody bye, at least, for now.

I hurry off to Rosa's chamber, I change and put on the purple and white mask. Before I go, Rosa's sitting in her chair. She takes my hand and covers it with her other hand. "Percy....You are the Phoenix...We have confirmed that now. Is there anything you'd like to ask?" She looks up at me.

"What was that? Why did I dance like that?" I ask, not hesitating. "The ritual. That's the starting of the Phoenix ritual. It means you have accepted being one and together. I am sorry that I forced you to do it, if that's what you think." She apologizes, though there's o regret in her voice.

I shake my head, "No, one way or another, I would have accepted. Thoug, some history and truth would help me understand my role better." I tell her. She smiles and then leads me to that brown door. "This way." She instructs as she opens the door.

I enter, realizing that although the door is small, the room inside is humongous. All the walls are white, and just pretty much ever thing is white. Pure snow white. There's nothing else in the room except the dress I wore, another dress, and a portrait. That other dress was red too.

I took a closer look at the picture, it was a woman with brown curled hair. Her smile was brilliant and she was gorgeous. She was wearing that red dress that was in the same room here. This portrait was really detailed.

I was staring at it, in which Rosa noticed. "Sarah. Sarah Glenwood. She was the Phoenix before you." She says. "What happened to her?" I ask while turning to look at Rosa. She was looking up at the picture with great admiration.

"She's gone. Not a single trace of her is left on this world." She answers. "How? What happened?" I asked, so many questions needed to be answered.

"The Dark Days or another name for this is called The Black Messiah's Return." She finishes.

"The Dark Days? The Black Messiah's Return? What does all this mean?" I ask.

Rosa gently rubs the portrait, and then says "The Dark Days or The Black Messiah's Return is what today is. The two Moons have created these days, The Dark Days......The two Moons have created these shelter for those creatures, making The Black Messiah's Return, a name that means destruction. Before the Sun was tarnished, it was Earth was the happiest place to be. No dark days or black messiah. Now, we live in the era called The Dark Days, the age of The Black Messiah's Return." She pauses.

I turn to look up at Sarah. The former Phoenix. "How did Sarah .......Leave this world?" I ask cautiously.

"She was a confident woman, at the age of 27, she went up against Hades' plans to remove the Sun. The ceremony to stop his plans needed great power.Recently, she had gotten hurt, a broken rib was all. But, she saved what she could. She could not save the Sun, but she did manage to hold back 75% percent of the creatures." She told me.

"You mean, the demons and creatures here are only 25% of the actual amount?!" I say meekly.

"Yes, she managed to seal the 75%. If the seal is undone, choas will ring in and out of this world." She says.
